Java Vulnerability Alert - May 26, 2013
Recently, security bulletins have been issued on the internet about risks arising from potentially infected websites that exploit a security hole in all web browsers. Click to expand/collapse.

Infected websites can take advantage of vulnerabilities in the widely used web browser plug-in for the Java platform and pose risks for Internet users. To protect against attack from websites of unverified origin, we advise using two separate web browsers for different purposes.

  1. A designated browser with Java enabled, to access enterprise UBC systems and other trusted websites and
  2. Another browser set as the default browser with the Java plugin disabled for all other web sites e.g. Blogs, internet news, gaming sites, etc.

Instructions for disabling the Java plugin can be found here. If assistance is needed in disabling the plugin for either of these browsers, help can be obtained either from your designated IT support group, or the IT Service Centre staff can help either by phone, or via the Walk-In Support Centre in the UBC Bookstore.

More information is available at our FAQ page.

IT Career Framework

The IT Career Framework now has its own website.

The IT Career Framework Project will develop a series of IT career ladders based on standardized M&P IT position descriptions and a set of common competencies shared across five pilot IT groups. The participating IT groups include MED-IT, OLT, IT Okanagan, UBC-IT and the Library and is jointly sponsored by UBC-IT and central HR as part of their Focus on People framework .

The Career Framework developed in this pilot will serve as a model which can be extended and adapted to all IT professionals at UBC.
